Hopefully he's good. Scary stuff and he's a great human (at least it seems).

One of my favorite players. I'm glad he's taking care of himself and I wish him nothing but the best.

It sounds like he is living in Spain and a return to any form of basketball is out of the question at this moment.

That 2009 Timberwolves draft was wild:

Ironic but Lawson got arrested in Spain in 2022 and Flynn is an assistant coach at USC which is cool. Ellington played the most games out of all of them - had a nice career overall and works for the Miami Heat now.

Always liked Rubio. Wanted him long before he was here.

I love Rubio. Even if you didn't like him, you still have to give him props when we signed him, he flew out from his vacation to meet with Gordo, and then get burned.
